   How many innocent parties proclaim their innocence, and vow to fight the   
   charges to the bitter end, then buys the accuser's family off, rather than   
   fight it in court?   
      
   The payoff only occurred AFTER the accuser proved he could positively   
   identify Mr. Jackson's private areas.   
      
   The only reason I can fathom why he'd suggest a payoff so damned   
   conveniently after an identification, is because he couldn't explain   
   reasonably why a child guest would have seen this adult male   
   musician/celebrity in the nude.  It's likely the case, as he knew why he was   
   going in BEFORE he went in, yet only arranged the payoff AFTER the I.D. was   
   concluded.  Obviously the identification proved something went on Jackson   
   couldn't sufficiently explain.

   His life will be in no danger.  He's a mega-millionaire.  His lawyers will   
   work out some freakish deal where he'll serve house arrest, or be under   
   constant doubled guard.   
      
   The convicted go into this environment.  It's something we like to call   
   punishment.   
   12 people decide the evidence and testimony suggests you did the crime, then   
   you do the time.  It's how it works.  Don't like it, get the laws changed.   
      
   It is not up to these prosecutors in California to remedy problematic prison   
   conditions.  It's their job to decide upon prosecuting criminal offenders.   
   Under the current laws, such situations would be relegated to other   
   departments.  But you already knew that, right?   
      
   Nobody's trying to kill Michael Jackson.  Whether they should be or not, is   
   not my place to say.
